At its meeting tlic Coniniittee agreed that for discussion purposcs it11 tlie tradc a prcliniinnn view be

adopted in respcct of option ( i i i )

As vi11 be secn from the replies b tlie tradc tlic arc unanimous in their opinion that tlic status quo

ie option (i) shoiild prcvail The tradcs icv is that no drivers csliibit thc knovledge to provide a

propcr service tliroiiglioiit the vliole of North Lanarksliirc as a drivers kiiodcdge ouId gcncrallj be

rcstricted to oiil oiic of tlie present operating areas The trade are further of the iev that de-zoning

aould lead to g r a h t i o n tovards the urban arcas liere tlicre is more work Ivitli the result that there

ivould be a loss of service in iiiorc nirnl arcas

The rcpresentahc from D Divisional HQ of Strathclgtde Police i n his vrittcn rcsponse supported the

prcliiiiinan vie taken b the Council but i n subsequent conversations Iias indicated that lie foresees

no policing problcnis hatever decision is taken oil this nintter Discussions it11 representatives from

Strathclgtde Police at both N and P Divisions also indicatc that thcrc ould be no policing

p roblcms vIiatce r decision is reachcd

Given the trades rcscrations regarding an iiioc tonrds de-zoning it is reconiniciided that for

future licensing piirposcs three areas of opcration bc crcatcd I n order to create a North Lanarkshire

idcntity the suggcstcd areas are as follos-

(a) North Lanarkshire Licensing Area - North This could cnconipass the fornicr Cunibcniauld

and Filstli arca as ncll as that part of Strathkclin liicIi dcvolicd to North Lanarkshire

CO111lCI I

(b ) North Lanarkshire Licensing Area - Central This could incorporatc tlic fornicr Monklands

arca

(c) North Linaikshire Licensing Area - South This could incorporatc tlic fornicr R4otlicn-celI

arca

The arcas as outlincd above vould be of fairl uniform size and ould also rcflcct tlic arcas presently

being utiliscd b tlic Planning and Dcclopnicnt Dcpartnicnt i n the discharge of their fiinctions

I n addition it is rcconiniendcd that all applicnnts for tasi dri ws Licences undcrtakc a tcst of their

REVIEW OF POLICIES RELATING TO TAXI AND PRIVATE HIRE LICENSING

I refer $0 your letter dated 21 October 1996 relative to the above and would comment

The proposal to standardise vehicle specificatlon for both taxi and private hire vehicles is a sensible and practical approach which should ultimately improve the overall standard of vehicles in use thereby enhancing the safety of passengers using such transport I

The proposal to permit the operation of taxis throughout North Lanarkshire District as a whole also makes sense and should eradicate problems inherent in zoning and the occasional conflicts caused

In conclusion I would suggest that taxis shocld be clearly identifiable from private hire vehicles and in this respect I would suggest that the previous policy of ensuring that all Hackneys are black in colour should be maintained precluding them from being black in colour

I have nothing further to add to the list of proposals embodied in your correspondence and trust that this information is of some assistance to you

0 Similarly a prohibition should be placed on private hire vehicles

Yours faithfully

NORTH LANARKSHIRE COUNCIL REVIEW OF POLICIES RELATING TO TAXI AND PRIVATE HIRE LICENSING

I refer to your letter dated 21 October 1996 giving details of the present policies which relate to taxi and private hire cars and your notes giving an indication of suggested guidelines for the new North Lanarkshire authority

I have consulted the Traffic Department in relation to this letter and would suggest the following points be considered when zeviewing the policies

1

2

The specification of taxis should include a uniform colour ie black

The specification of private hire vehicles should include any manufacturers colour except black

3 The specification of both taxis and private hire vehicles should include a) b) c ) d)

e)

four or five door vehicles not to include estate cars maximum age of vehicles should be five years minimum engine capacity 1600 cc vehicles should be equipped with both first aid kit and fire extinguisher to acceptable standards as all vehicles of this age are fitted with rear seat belts a booster cushion for children should be carried

f) minimum luggage capacity

4 If allowing people carrier vehicles then these should only be allowed if they are specially manufactured as such limited luggage capacity and luggage is not separated from the seating area which could cause a danger in the event of an accident

Many people carriers have very

5 Vehicle licence plates should show the registration mark of the licensed vehicle similar to the system used within the City of Glasgow to prevent swapping between vehicles

I trust the above information is of use to the Council when considering the above policies

Dear S i r We thank y=u f o r your letter of 2ist DctoherWe h a v e had a meeting

w i t h o u r members and t h e follcwing letter is our members views

e Areas of Operation

W E request a status q u = A l t h o u g h it is now North Lanarkshire we wish tc S e zcned as Rotherwell DistrictCne of the reasons is street kcouledgcn o r d e r tc p r o v i d s aT efficient service to the public it is essential to h a v e a gcod s t r ~ e t knowI2dge cf the area I R which you workMotherwel1 Distict we feel is hard e n o u g h io learnNorth Lanarkshire would be impossiSle

( 2 ) LIEITS cn the MUHEER cf TAXIS

T h e present numbar of Taxis is AdequateHowever we would point o ~ t that the figurr far Strzthkelvin (73) is misleadingWe have been informed this is t1a number f o r the od region of which a very small area has been incorporated ir North LanakshireOur colleagtcs icform us that the neu area does nct require acything like (79)taxis

(3) VEHICLE SPECIFICATIONS

ur =embers and a vast majority of the public in our area prefer saloon 9 rsWe would like the council to clarify their interpretation of the - Disability Discrimination Act as regards taxis

We are of the cpir ion that the age of taxis should not matterAs long as the taxi is kept in good condition is clean and most important is 108 safe the age is of no importance We a g r e e to a minimum engine capacity of 1600cc We would also request a minimum rear seat width of 48 We would request we still be allowed any colour of taxi

(4)FARES

With regard to fares we would like to discuss same with our colleagues from the other areas before submitting any proposals

Yours Faithfully

Dear Sir

NORTH LANARKSHIRE COUNCIL TAXI LICENSING - REVIEW OF POLICIES

I refer to your correspondence of 21st October regarding th4 above

The general view of our members is as follows

AREAS OF OPERATION

Licenses should be restricted to one or the present four operating areas as drivers have only limited knowledge of the districts outwith their own

LIMITS ON THE NUMBERS OF TAXIS

The council should have control of the numbers of taxis operating in the areas


Uniformity in colour 1600cc or above No maximum age limit as vehicles are subject to taxi test Majority of disabled request saloon type vehicle no demand for wheelchair capable vehicles

FARES

Fare card should state mileage rather than metres

Mr Par ham North Lanarkshire Council PO Box 14 Civic Centre MOTHERWELL ML1 1TW

5th November 1936

Dear Sir

TAXI LICEhlSIMG

I acknowledge receipt of your correspondence dated 21st October 1996and note the contents therein

In responrr I would ask that the Council take cognizance of the following-

(1) AREAS OF OPERATION

We are in favour of option WO (1) A GENERAL POLICY OF RESTRICTING

There are many reasons for this some examples being that all taxi drivers MUST according to their licence conditionstake the shortest most practical route If option MO (1) is not selected then there is no doubt that the Council will need to implement a topographical test for the whole of North Lanarkshireand every taxi driver will need to pass this to ensure the travelling public are protected

However the Council will no doubt be aware that under the Civic Government (Scotland) Act 1982that there is provision under schedule 1 Section 4 Sub Section ( 2 ) para (a) to restrict a licence to a specified area- Should the Council decide that this is the best option then we would ask that the licence plates be colour coded to each area Which will assist with police enforcement and public awareness

There are of course many other reasons for the trade the option mentionedone which should be briefly mentioned is the problem associated with large numbers of taxis trying to work in one particular busy area at a particular time while the public in the rest of the area is deprived of a service coupled with the problems of rank space parking and traffic congestion is a recipe for disaster

NEW GRANTS TO ONLY ONE OF THE PRESENT FOUF OPERATING AREAS

( 2 ) LIMITS ON THE MUMBERS OF TAXIS

We would ask that the Council retains its policy of llCOMTROL OF NUMBERS We are of the opinion that there is no significant demand for the services of taxi in our area which is unmet

we would add that although the Council have included Strathkelvin - District ( 7 3 Licences) in their proposals there is in fact only a couple of small villages and streets which actually come into

and in fact are provided with a taxi service from The existing numbers

North Lanarkshire Council Areawe would therefore urge the Counci disregard the figures for Strathkelvin as these small areas

(3) VEHIC3E SPECIFICATIOMS

(i) We would wish to retain the custom built vehiclecurrently known as the HACKNEY METROCAB TYPES

(ii)There should be no age limit attached to vehicles deemed to be suitable for licensing as taxis

we feel there is absolutely no justification in imposing such a condition as long as there is adequate inspection of vehicles and proper police enforcement

iii)We would suggest a minimum engine capacity of 1 6 0 0 ~ ~

(iV)We would suggest that all taxis be black in colourhowever should the Council decide on an alternative colour we would ask that on

when a choice of manufacturers colours should be allowed one colour be deemed suitable unless it is the Hackney or

( 4 ) FARES

We would suggest some small changes to the actual fare card The taxi licensees name be omitted from the cardin the event of any complaint the licence number would be sufficient

To insert the word DISPLAY in place of WEAR

To my knowledge there is no licensed area in Britain who are currently charging taxi fares by metrewe would therefore suggest retaining the yardage criteria

cont d


69 CUMBERNAULD


Under the extra charges section we would ask that a ftSOILING CHARGE 25-00 be includedand that our current method of charging (FLAG FALL) when a taxi is hired through the medium of a telephone or other telecommunication equipment is retained up to a maximum of 60p We would agree to negotiate a separate charge to be shown on the meter in place of the above as an alternative

We would ask that the wordt1LUGGAGEbe inserted between the words a llUNLOADINGandWITHOUT

That all review of Fares be annually

I hope thhg the aforementioned will assist the Counci1and look forward to attending any meetings which may be held in the future

TAXI LICENSING - REVIEW OF POLICIES Thank you for your letter of 21st October regarding above subject I apologise for the slight delay in my reply owing to an ever increasing amount of work on associated subjects in other areas

I attended a meeting on 12th November in Coatbridge which was a attended by all Scottish Taxi Federation representatives in North Lanarkshire plus a number of other groups from the area A very full discussion took place on the four main issues as stated in your letter and the following agreements were reached

Item 1 It was unanimously agreed that option 1 was the preferred solution This Federation endorses that decision as being the most practical at this time to ensure that the public in all areas are assured of a continued Taxi service The practical difficulties of the option2 would result in an almost unenforceable situation Option 3 would almost certainly result in t$e less profitable areas being denied a good service

Item 2 The Federation drew the delegates attention to the fact that the number of taxis listed in the letter for Strathkelvin District ( 7 3 ) was in fact the total number for that whole District and that in fact the area now being taken into North Lanarkshire comprised only a few small towns and villages which had NEVER sustained ANY street Taxis The area in fact is served by a few -0 local Private Hire cars which will probably continue to operate in the area Delegates wholeheartedly agreed that the present numbers for Motherwell Monklands and Cumbernauld would be sufficient to serve the new Council Area with no significnt demand being unmet

Item 3 Vehicle Specification (1) A l l delegates agreed that for the foreseeable future each area should retain the vehicle types as used at present (2) It was unanimously agreed that the suggestion of ANY age limit being used for vehicles used as Taxis was unnecessary and needlessly restrictive In fact the testing procedures should be sufficient to maintain the high standard of Taxi which it was agreed should be the aim of both the Trade and the Council The Federation further explained that the Government were at this time proposing prohibiting Licensing Authorities in England and Wales from imposing any age limits on Taxis and Private Hire cars and in fact a Consultation Paper has been issued to that effect At this time it does not cover Scotland which of course has separate legislation but a similar prohibition could obviously be requested for Scotland in the future

Page Two

( 3 ) Delegates agreed that 1600cc engines and a rear seat of 48 was perfectly acceptable for taxis in all areas of North Lanarkshire

( 4 ) Delegates agreed that the present colour standards should be retained in order to make supervision and identification easier for the Police and the public

Item 4 FARES

It was agreed that a sub committee be formed from the delegates to discuss in more detail the various options possibly available and it was further agreed that it is an option to have different fare scales for each separate area if one unified Fare Scale was agreed to be used a separate meeting would be desired and requested to attend to that item

With regards to the sample Fare Card it was emphasised that f o r e security purposes the Card should NOT display the License Holders home address It was also agreed that the Drivers badge should be DISPLAYED - NOT worn conspicously One newitem was discussed and agreed to be implememted into a new Fare Stracture ie that a SOILING CHARGE be uncorporated for those times when a passenger soils or otherwise renders a taxi unfit for further service to the public I would be pleased f o r this Federation t o be invited to attend any meetings regarding those items and any other matters pertaining to taxi licensing in your Council area If I can be of any further assistance please feel free to contact me at any time

I

Yours faithfully Dennis E Cloney

At its meeting tlic Coniniittee agreed that for discussion purposcs it11 tlie tradc a prcliniinnn view be

adopted in respcct of option ( i i i )

As vi11 be secn from the replies b tlie tradc tlic arc unanimous in their opinion that tlic status quo

ie option (i) shoiild prcvail The tradcs icv is that no drivers csliibit thc knovledge to provide a

propcr service tliroiiglioiit the vliole of North Lanarksliirc as a drivers kiiodcdge ouId gcncrallj be

rcstricted to oiil oiic of tlie present operating areas The trade are further of the iev that de-zoning

aould lead to g r a h t i o n tovards the urban arcas liere tlicre is more work Ivitli the result that there

ivould be a loss of service in iiiorc nirnl arcas

The rcpresentahc from D Divisional HQ of Strathclgtde Police i n his vrittcn rcsponse supported the

prcliiiiinan vie taken b the Council but i n subsequent conversations Iias indicated that lie foresees

no policing problcnis hatever decision is taken oil this nintter Discussions it11 representatives from

Strathclgtde Police at both N and P Divisions also indicatc that thcrc ould be no policing

p roblcms vIiatce r decision is reachcd

Given the trades rcscrations regarding an iiioc tonrds de-zoning it is reconiniciided that for

future licensing piirposcs three areas of opcration bc crcatcd I n order to create a North Lanarkshire

idcntity the suggcstcd areas are as follos-

(a) North Lanarkshire Licensing Area - North This could cnconipass the fornicr Cunibcniauld

and Filstli arca as ncll as that part of Strathkclin liicIi dcvolicd to North Lanarkshire

CO111lCI I

(b ) North Lanarkshire Licensing Area - Central This could incorporatc tlic fornicr Monklands

arca

(c) North Linaikshire Licensing Area - South This could incorporatc tlic fornicr R4otlicn-celI

arca

The arcas as outlincd above vould be of fairl uniform size and ould also rcflcct tlic arcas presently

being utiliscd b tlic Planning and Dcclopnicnt Dcpartnicnt i n the discharge of their fiinctions

I n addition it is rcconiniendcd that all applicnnts for tasi dri ws Licences undcrtakc a tcst of their

knoledge of tlic nrcn to vhich the Licence is to relntc Prescntl this is donc for tlic former
